Business Outlook

Pros

-Extremely friendly atmosphere, always felt like my line manager had my back -Very fast-paced, but I never felt like I was sacrificing my work-life balance -Intellectually curious work

Cons

-Due to how the company is performing things always felt uncertain - half the team ended up being cut a few months after I have left -Lots of travelling to different stores, but you end up being compensated for the inconvenience pretty fairly -Systems and HR is non-existent - I spent like 3 months trying to hand-in my P45 from a previous job and ended up being on an emergency tax-code for the time (which led to some liquidity issues as it massively taxes you)

Not as good as it used to be

Business Outlook

Pros

Free city centre parking Line managers are great/ nice colleagues 15% staff discount

Cons

- Pay significantly less than other retailers (A LOT LOWER) - The lower pay used to be compensated by the flexibility of WFH however that benefit gone now also. Now expect same/ more in office days than other retails with still a lot less pay - can tell the business is now run by an older gentleman. Old fashioned beliefs re-introduced/ working style feels as though gone back in time. - All the high skilled colleagues had left/ were leaving due to not being as many benefits anymore - No longer get bonus - Mass redundancies every year. Never felt job security which is ultimately why I chose to leave.

Pros

It was close to me

Cons

Horrible people and management. No regard for you being a human they just treat you like garbage that can be disposed since we’re just numbers to them at the end of the day.
